WoW: Cataclysm Cinematic Intro Blows Everything Up Forever

[Zeetchmen]

That was pretty mehhh

 

[Eldarion]

eh....

does WOW count towards the warcraft canon? if so I'm not going to bother with WarCraft 4 (the RTS) when it comes out in.....when? oh yea 2013.

Considering the canon is entirely made by Deathwi-..ekhem, Metzen, yes and no. He can retcon anything anytime (look: Draenei), but i guess whatever is killed in WoW is dead in Warcraft's universe.

Unless they're brought back three expansions later.

Lookin' at you, Onyxia and Nefarian...

In cannon I thought they just raised Onyxia's level to 80 they didn't really bring her back.

 

[LogicNProportion]

While it was pretty...it was nowhere near as heart pounding as the Reach few.

Still siding with The Old Republic.

...I think you need to go read some Cataclysm previews. It's worse. Much worse.

ZOMBIE ONYXIA.

Yes, it's a shame that there's no "You are not prepared!" or "You... will be king" quote, which is why I'm tentatively slotting it below the WotLK cinematic. But visually, it's stunning imo.

The chills I got from the WotLK cinematic had nothing to do with the temperature - the old king's words were haunting and fit the atmosphere perfectly. And this?

Well. This really has the "epic" feel. I recognized the Stormwind music, saw the very act of Deathwing breaking loose ruin swaths of the planet. This is just what the guy does when he wakes up.

Like I said, ironic parallel. Fuckin' A.

The more I watch it, the more I like this cinematic. It's showing off Deathwing being DEATHWING, FORCE OF NATURE! What's not to like?

One one hand, lol cool.

On the other, I have to do that same raid again?

 

[WanderingFool]

I think it's meh. Deathing doesn't do a whole lot other than fly around all "HEY GUIZ LEWK AT MEH!"

Yah... fucking showoff...

 

[Ildecia]

i'm geared up for cataclysm!!!


OH WAIT i play Guild Wars and Aion.... nevermind

 

[Xanthious]

Grafting Adamantium plates onto his skin looks painful :<

Maybe he wouldn't be so angry if he had some morphine..

That would be A LOT of morphine. . . . although speaking as someone who has been on morphine before, it would definately do wonders for his demeanor. I had a leg broken in multiple places and it turned my frown upside down.

 

[McNinja]

Damn. That was... pretty awesome. Hopefully my brother buys it so don't have to, but I might start playing WoW again. For a little while. Then I'll get bored and do something else.

 

[Zing]

My only complaint is that I wish it was longer. Was fucking cool to see Barrens breaking apart, Thousand Needles flooding and and stormwind getting raped.

 

[Speakercone]

I think we have a new nomination for worst job ever: Dragon Armourer.

 

[black-magic]

Oh god this is the best week ever!

 

[ZehGeek]

I think we have a new nomination for worst job ever: Dragon Armourer.

I feel bad for all those Twilight Cultists. Specialy the ones that feel off that plat. Horriable tempretures, horriable pay, horriable work-related injurys. I mean man, I'd hate having to make a giant breatplate for some dragon. But hey, they wouldn't be cultists if they wouldn't do that.

 

[Bootbunny]

Much better than Classic/BC intros, IMO. Not sure if I like it as much as the WotLK one.

/agree

The WotLK one had that amazing sauce voice over of Terenas Menethil where he was talking to Arthas as a kid and it related exactly to what he had become, only in the exact opposite way that his papa had intended. It blew my mind, to say the least.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

This just makes me wish that Blizz was still doing the Warcraft rts games.

yeah me too...

remember recently what went down recently at EA:

[Lonan]

This is how they keep people addicted. Boring repetitive gameplay most of the time, and then this epic cinematic to make people go "WOW!" and then feel silly for having not been playing it all this time and leveling up. No everyone's ahead of you, and will get to this epic cutscene point, and you're still a level 73! Oh no!
Please, no one start playing again because of this.

 

[mechanixis]

John Kerry is destroying Azeroth??

 

[Zildjin81]

WoW becomes less appealing to me with every expansion they release.
